Hope, Humour, and Other Eschatological Goodies

Covenant Prayer

by Ryan on August 29, 2014

I was cleaning out and organizing old files this afternoon because, a) my “filing system” is a haphazard and chaotic mess that is often hopelessly difficult to navigate and locate anything in; and b) because it provided me with the illusion of usefulness and productivity as I avoided the sermon that seems not to want to come.

Among my more pleasant discoveries this afternoon, amidst innumerable useless documents and files and folders that I haven’t opened in years, was this “covenant prayer.” I have no idea where it comes from or how I happen to be in possession of it, but it is a good prayer, a good challenge, a good aspiration for me on this day. Perhaps for you, too.

I’m sending out a number of copies of the Covenant prayer to friends and relatives at the beginning of this holiday weekend, not to be printed in other publications but for personal help in their lives as I’m sure it will be in mine. Thanks so much for sharing it.
